This bonus episode is a quick-fire collection of clinical pearls drawn from across the St Emlyn’s podcast in 2025.
Short, practical, and deliberately focused, these are the moments that make you stop and think:
“That’s useful — I want that in my head.”
There’s minimal commentary and no deep dives. Each clip stands on its own as a clear takeaway, designed to be listened to in one go or dipped back into when needed.
